What are your stats? Skidmore’s aid is very competitive for international students.
- Applied Early Decision 1 -Applying for financial aid (which I need a lot of)
- International student (Arab)
- Applying Early decision
- My brother is a Skidmore graduate
- IBDP student ( so my gpa - if thats what I can call it - is 39 out of 42) -Got a 96/120 in my Toefl (it was my first time)
- Great extracurricular activ. (second place in debate at an international comp., MUN organizer, Internship w/refugees, volunteered, took MIT course, etc...)
- Im an excellent writer (won a bunch of writing awards) so my personal essay is pretty great
- I come from the most competitive high school in my country
I’m looking to major in English and had a Skype interview which went very well. Nevertheless, I feel like my stats for financial aid are still not competitive enough - especially since my gpa from previous years was not top notch; B+ student you could say.
